1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

purposeTo evaluate the frequency and independent risk factors associated with transient severe motion artifact (TSM) during the arterial phase of gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI in a Southeast Asian population. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis retrospective study included 836 consecutive studies who underwent gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI between October 2022 and October 2024 at a tertiary academic hospital. Two abdominal radiologists reviewed arterial phase images and graded motion artifacts using a validated 5-point scale; grades 4 and 5 were classified as TSM. Clinical and laboratory data were extracted from the electronic medical record. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to identify predictors of TSM. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on age and body mass index (BMI).

resultsTSM artifacts were observed in 43 of 836 studies (5.14%). In multivariable analysis, older age (> 65 years) (adjusted OR 4.59; 95% CI 1.268-16.710; p = 0.021) and lower serum albumin (adjusted OR 0.33; 95% CI 0.143-0.761; p = 0.009) were independent predictors of TSM. Subgroup analyses demonstrated higher TSM incidence in patients aged ≥ 65 years (7.07% vs. 3.41%; p = 0.019) and in those with BMI > 30 kg/m

conclusionTSM during gadoxetic acid-enhanced liver MRI occurs in approximately 5% of patients and is independently associated with older age and lower serum albumin. Awareness of these risk factors can guide protocol optimization and personalized imaging strategies to improve arterial phase image quality.
